XT -Torch Technology<br />
Unique ‘Keyless’ Consumables Cartridge<br />
A U T O M A T I O N<br />
The unique, SpeedLok Consumables Cartridge houses consumable parts only, no built-in head/torch body to drive replacement costs up. Changing<br />
cartridges is fast and easy – a couple of twists and the unique ‘rapid engagement’ retaining collar threads release the cartridge. Down-time is<br />
reduced to seconds and you can change from one process to another or from one application to another quickly and easily.<br />
XT-Torch Head<br />
No Tools Required<br />
Unlike other torches, no tools are required to change either the<br />
torch consumables or major components in the Torch Head.<br />
‘Leakless’ Torch Head Design<br />
Coolant doesn’t drip from the torch head when the consumables<br />
cartridge is removed from the torch head.<br />
Prevents air from entering the system and becoming trapped in<br />
the leads.<br />
Self-centering Components<br />
Cartridge<br />
Consumable parts and torch body are precisely engineered to lock<br />
into place for absolute alignment and remain positioned cut after<br />
cut. Independently-aligned tip and electrode assures accurate<br />
re-centering of the consumable cartridge after each parts change.<br />
This guarantees best cut quality again and again.<br />
Electrode<br />
Superior Warranty<br />
Thermal Dynamics’ XT-Torch warranty covers components and service for<br />
a full 1-year period.<br />
Precision Cuts on all Metals<br />
The XT-Torch dual gas technology provides the highest arc density<br />
plasma stream in the industry for precision cuts on mild steel, stainless<br />
steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. Choices for plasma gas<br />
include Air, N2, O2 or Ar-H2, shield gas choices include Air, N2, O2, H2O, or<br />
Ar-H2.<br />

With the XT-Torch the operating window permits wide travel speed<br />
variance which means you'll get great cuts more often and less wasted<br />
material and time.<br />
• Less critical standoff height<br />
• Wider ‘Operating Window’ for dross-free cutting
Automated Plasma Cutting<br />
Automated Digital Flow Control (DFC-3000)<br />
Designed specifically for use with the high-precision Ultra-Cut systems,<br />
the automated DFC-3000 (Digital Flow Control) consists of three separate<br />
modules.<br />
• The TSC-3000 (Touch Screen Controller) offers the only touch screen<br />
in the plasma industry today. The interface allows operators to quickly<br />
choose one of potentially 1000’s of stored programs and start cutting<br />
by touching the green “Go” button. Future software upgrades can be<br />
made through the standard USB port.<br />
• With the TSC-3000 older CNC's can also be used with an automatic gas<br />
console. No new CNC has to be purchased.<br />
• The DMC-3000 (Digital Manifold Control) functions as the central<br />
manifold for all incoming gases. Having (7) inputs and (5) outputs, this<br />
unit enables the gas to be used according to the program selected.<br />
• The DPC-3000 (Digital Pressure Control) controls/maintains gas<br />
flows and pressures needed to optimize the cutting process. The unit<br />
is normally mounted within 4' (1.2 m) of the cutting torch to minimize<br />
time to switch between processes.<br />
• This automated Digital Flow Control system reduces set up time,<br />
minimizes set up errors, provides consistent performance, and offers<br />
the industry’s only touch screen controller for easy set up and operation.
Why choose the automated<br />
Digital Flow Control?<br />
• Easier to use<br />
• No setup errors<br />
• No need for CNC to control the DFC<br />
• Uses the same parts for cutting and marking<br />
• Reduced set up times<br />
• Consistent cut quality<br />
• Improved parts life and cut quality<br />
• Easily switch between marking and cutting<br />
• Integrates easily to most CNC’s<br />
Marking Samples<br />
When To Choose The Automated Digital Flow Control<br />
Consider the automated DFC for:<br />
• Easy setup<br />
• More consistent cut quality<br />
• Plasma marking<br />
• When applications call for frequent changes in<br />
material types or thicknesses<br />
• Optimizing cut quality<br />
• Controlling the Ultra-Cut ® system automatically<br />

Ultra-Cut ® 400 vs Oxyfuel<br />
• Averages 3 times faster cut speeds<br />
• Pierces 1¼" (35 mm) in 1.5 seconds<br />
• One Ultra-Cut 400 can replace up to 4 oxy-fuel torches -<br />
each requiring their own height controls.<br />
• Ultra-Cut 400 provides superior stainless steel and<br />
aluminum cut quality<br />
• Higher arc density equals faster speeds without<br />
sacrificing cut quality<br />
• Smaller tip orifices create a narrow kerf for tighter angles<br />
and radiuses at higher speeds - less material waste<br />

Automated Plasma Cutting<br />
Water Mist Secondary (WMS ® ) For Non-Ferrous Materials<br />
WMS delivers excellent non-ferrous cut quality and low cost of<br />
operation by using N2 as plasma gas and ordinary tap water as<br />
the secondary. A reducing atmosphere is produced in the cut by<br />
the release of hydrogen from the secondary water. The reducing<br />
atmosphere decreases oxidation on the cut face surface. WMS<br />
is recommended for materials up to 1½" (25 mm) thick.<br />
WMS Benefits<br />
• Lowest operating cost<br />
• Up to 3 times faster cutting speeds than H35<br />
• Dross-free cutting<br />
• Oxide-free cut surface<br />
• Wide parameter window<br />
• Easy to use<br />
• Laser-like cut quality on Aluminum<br />
• Small heat effected zone<br />
• Less distortion<br />
• Same weldability as H35<br />
Cutting Aluminum with the Ultra-Cut ® 200<br />
Example for 3/4" (20 mm) with WMS<br />
Example for 1/4" (6 mm)<br />
Aluminum cut with WMS<br />
The WMS process uses nitrogen as the plasma gas while<br />
water is used as the secondary gas (shield gas). The water in<br />
the torch is divided into its principal components (hydrogen<br />
and oxygen) during the cutting process. The majority of the<br />
water used during the process (from 4 to 8 GPH (0.25 to 0.5 l/<br />
min)) is converted to principal components (gas) and thereby<br />
does not require disposal.<br />

Note: This cutting speed chart includes preliminary data and is subject to change<br />
without notice. Take care in comparison. The speeds noted above are best cut<br />
speeds. Often, competitors show maximum cutting speeds. Although much higher<br />
speeds can be achieved, edge quality and bevel angle may be compromised. The<br />
capabilities shown in this table were obtained by using new consumables, correct gas<br />
and current settings, accurate torch height control and with the torch perpendicular<br />
to the workpiece. The operating chart does not list all processes available for the<br />

Automated Plasma Cutting<br />
Height Control: SC-3100 and SC-3200<br />
Features<br />
Torch Height Adjustable in Distance or Voltage<br />
Distance mode:<br />
• Change speed without changing stand-off height<br />
• Automatically adjusts for electrode wear<br />
• Cut continuously at peak performance<br />
Voltage mode:<br />
• Ideal for contoured materials<br />
Built-in Collision Sensor<br />
• No costly sensor to replace<br />
• No air source required at lifter station<br />
• Works in X-Y-Z planes; works in all directions<br />
Arc Voltage Range<br />
• Ready for most applications, from plasma marking<br />
to cutting the thickest materials<br />
Easy to Operate<br />
• High contrast display for maximum visibility<br />
• Operating parameters accessed using two<br />
drop-down menus<br />
Fast Installation<br />
• Easily connects to most CNC and plasma systems on<br />
the market today<br />
Pierce Retract<br />
• Lifts torch after initial piercing to increase pierce capacity<br />
Direct Control<br />
• Lifter can be controlled directly from CNC interface; no<br />
separate terminal necessary<br />
Instant Pierce Height<br />
• Adjustable torch height for better initial pierce height<br />
finding on gauge materials<br />
